Stayed here while on business trip last week. Accommodation is comfortable, clean, good breakfast. I had early morning departure and needed to get the shuttle to the airport. At checkout I asked for my receipt which I need for work and was told it would be emailed to me. I didn't get it and have emailed them twice for a copy and am still waiting. Recommend you wait for the receipt before leaving the hotel.

Called for shuttle after parking car and it arrived within 5 minutes.Shuttle in the morning to the terminal free and on time.Hotel is very clean, room was spotless.Free coffee in the lobby in the morning was a nice touch.Would definitely stay there again, much nicer than The Park Inn at cork airport.

An enjoyable weekend just spent at this hotel. Stunning lobby, very friendly and welcoming staff and spacious rooms. The bed is a little too hard for my taste and a shower screen would look better than a shower curtain. The breakfast was fantastic but the meal in the New Yorker was disappointing as the fish comes pre-battered!

However, I would definitely come back despite the minor gripes.

We booked this hotel as we were flying early next morning & the stay & park deal was excellent value. This turned out to be one of the finest hotels in Ireland we have ever stayed in. The check in was extremely welcoming & friendly, the family room was massive, with 2 bathrooms, and for our children, there was a toy chest full of games & toys, what a very pleasant surprise this was. There was also a kids play room with x box & lots of games, and a movie room made from the interior of an airoplane, with kids & adults movies on, and massage chairs to sit in, it was top class. We ate in the bar, and the food was exquisite. All 4 of us were so disappointed that we were only staying for one night, as it was such an enjoyable stay, and the kids have asked if we can go there next time for a few night, just as a family break, which no doubt we will. This hotel is top class & we all look forward to staying there again soon. What a fantastic start to our holiday to stay in The Cork International Hotel.

We booked in to last Friday afternoon 8th Aug after travelling from Dublin for the night. Upon our arrival I had noticed the new decor and a friendly smile behind the reception desk from Sarah. We found Sarah and her colleagues very helpful and obliging in order for us enjoy our stay. The twin room we got was lovely, clean, bright and very modern. The New Yorker bar the food was immense - compliments to the chef My one on negative comment would be the level of service by the bar staff I feel they should be more attentive to their customers and not as absorbed in maintaining the bar and chatting amongst themselves. The breakfast buffet was amazing and the staff in the breakfast room were very attentive and obliging. I would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying there again soon.

Just back from a 2 night weekend stay, myself, my husband and our 4 kids (aged 14,13,11 & 7). We had a ball and can't praise the hotel highly enough, especially Sarah on reception. The hotel is spotless, bright and all staff members very friendly. We got a great deal and thought it was the best value for money we have had in a long time. Our kids would have loved a swimming pool but the 8 seater cinema with massage chairs more than made up for it. It is a great base to go touring from, whether it's Kinsale, Fota wildlife park or the English market in cork you are interested in, we went to all three. The food was great, particularly the breakfasts, where waffles were the order of the day for our girls and the best omelettes in town. Thank you Cork International, we can't wait to return.

As a regular business traveller to Cork I usually stay in one of the Airport hotels on a weekly basis. The International has always been branded as the premier airport hotel at Cork; better than its rivals. I guess it depends on how you judge a hotel. The entrance used to be one of my favourites. It was an airport hotel with a bar and lounge with an aviation feel featuring aircraft seats and memorabilia. It was brilliant. Sadly this was ripped out during the reception facelift and it has just become like a tasteless furniture showroom. When this happened, in my opinion the hotel lost its sparkle. The feel you were met with by reception changed. It was more cold, hostile and felt more corporate. This changed things for me so much that I stopped staying here regularly and went elsewhere. Unfortunately, due to lack of air-conditioned hotels in cork, I find myself a regular visitor to the Cork International during summertime. As a regular at many hotels in Ireland and Europe on a weekly basis, I am afraid that the Cork International comes someway short. The rooms are splendid, big and spacious and the beds are comfy. Depending on your room, baths can fill fairly quickly or some can take nearly 40 mins but the water is usually hot. Housekeeping is variable. You can request late check out and yet you are still interrupted at 12 noon by housekeeping trying to enter (invariably after you've just got into the ever filling bath and you have to try and converse to them through two doors). I stayed here in 2013 and on the comment card noted that there was a blood stain on the chair and that it wasn't good enough. I was rather surprised that a year later when I was in the same room that the blood stained chair was still there. This was mentioned to reception upon my departure. The main trouble for me this hotel is that it isn't personable. Everytime I walk through the door, the same staff treat me like a new customer. I have to always complete an address form. Half the time, they have misspelt my name incorrectly and have to try and explain that my name isn't Tony (as was the last example) even though everything is booked correctly online. Tonight took the biscuit. I arrived as normal to be met by 'we don't have a reservation for you and we are full'. Once I had proved my reservation I was asked to wait while they went to check a black listed room was fit for purpose. After all this waiting and inconvenience, the receptionist still tried to charge me €30 for a late check out. I can understand that most people will find this hotel good for an ad-hoc stay however for a regular traveller that spends a lifetime in hotel rooms, I like to stay somewhere that feels more homely; that is a bit more flexible. I can't quite put my finger on what is really wrong here, the staff wander around and talk to you with an air of arrogance. It's just the wrong feel to attract long term customers. Certainly rival airport hotels, while they don't have as good facilites, make up for it with excellent customer care and services and you feel compelled to go back. For example you'll maybe find a nice note on your pillow or the odd box of chocolates in your room. You are made to feel like they appreciate the business and try to keep me happy. I guess that is why my conferencing and seminars happen elsewhere in Cork. Everytime I leave the Cork International, I always vow to not return but seemingly by the time it comes to book for the next week, the summer sun means I need air-con at an Airport hotel!
